Future of Nuclear Power
1) Fire 2) Wheel
3) Sailing ships 4) Fossil fuels and by-products 5) Trains 6) Elevators 7) Planes
8) Modern diagnostic and therapeutic medicine.
9) Fission nuclear power 10) Fusion nuclear power
What energy does for the world
1) Coal, oil, and natural gas and their 6,000 by-products make the modern world possible.-
2) No affordable replacements for the by-products. They are needed in everything. Must not waste. Best Nature offers
3) Geothermal-, hydro-electric, biomass, wind, solar limited.
4) Fission - current technology. Uses fraction of nuclear energy. More radioactive fission products.Active safety systems. More cost & issues.
5) Fission - advanced technology. Uses most of nuclear energy. Passive safety. Plenty of uranium and thorium.
6) Fusion - Energy in stars. Will it be used on Earth? Get electricity out?
TIME FRAME FOR NUCLEAR
- 100 years for 35% of global electricity, process heat, and desalination to be using nuclear.This will be in more advanced economies.
-
- Over 200 years for 85% of potential applications to be using nuclear power.
- It is OK to prove this wrong!
REASONING FOR NUCLEAR
- Use nuclear power for everything it can do.
- Save fossil fuels for the things they do best including precious by-products.
- Schiller institute has developed great plans for nuclear power.
- Nuclear power does not control climate change. Nature does.
Regulation, Safety, Environment, Nuclear Waste
- Qualified regulators
-
- Correct regulations
- Valid safety standards
- Manage delays and complaints
- Manage nuclear waste as in France.
- Nuclear is best land use
- Best energy security in natural disasters and geopolitical conflicts
- Best 24/7 reliability
- Saves hydrocarbons for highest purpose
- Best for biodiversity
Alan Waltar, past President ofAmerican Nuclear Society
Strain for power forArtificial Intelligence and data centers,Afrenzy for new electrical capacity. Large nuclear power plants are still needed.
The future is Small Modular Reactors. Many designs. Some may fail. Some will prevail. Can be deployed worldwide. He is bullish on nuclear!
